Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Tesco Express (convenience, 44m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Jamaica Road / Abbey Street) is 129m away. The median property price is £410,000, with moderate growth of 1% over five years. Based on 101 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 116m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
